A REPRESENTATIVE SOUTHERN JOUR-
NAL.-Thad Manning'S Henderson, n. g.,
GOLD LEAF seems to have taken good
start Oh the completion of its fifth year of
publication. 1t was always one of our most
readable and sensible exchanges, but of
late it seems more so than ever. and if the
people in the great South had few more
like it labOring to build up one of the finest
portions of Gods universe, it would be a
good thing for the whole country, and North
Carolina especially. Go South, young man,
go South, and grow up with the country
ChenOa, Illinois, Gazette.
We thank Brother Hedge for the above,
which, by the way, is not the first time he
has taken occasion to speak in a kindly and
complimentary manner about us but most
especially do we wish to thank him for the
generous and manly way in which he has
always spoken of the South and its people
We can return the compliment paid us in
no better way than by copying somewhat
after the GGsette's own style, and say if the
North and West had more such intelligent
fair minded and patriotic publishers as
Editor Hedge, who were willing to recog
nize in the South a part of our common
countIy-and no small part at that,-striv
ing like himself to enlighten their reader:
as to its vast and almost boundlesS re
sources, and the true status of its people
they would be doing great deal more fol
the country at large than in pursuing the
course adopted by some of the truly
loyal (?)" in trying to keep alive sectional
feelings, for the sake of political capital
Would that there were more such sensible
honest and Outspoken editors scattered
all over this land of ours as Ii. o. Hedgs
of the Chenoa Gazette.

neatest job printing We have seen executed
anywhere has lately been turned out by

made some large additions to their stock of
printing material in the way of new type,
stationery, ETC.. and the result is larger
range and much better class of work is now
sent out from their Office. In the way of
letter and bill heads they are doing some
very neat work. Prices always reasonable.

AN ARTICLE OF MERIT.-In these times
of scarcity of money the average consumer
rejoices whenever an innovation is made
in any department of domestic economy.
When an article is produced and sold at
less cost than the same thing could for
merly be bought for, and its standard of
value remain the same, then no labored
study of the science Of political economy
is necessary to teach us what to do. Rec
the times required it, few years ago
Messrs. James Means & Co., of Boston,

Made of the best material, firmly put to-
gether, for durability it is unexcelled by
any high-price shoe; while for style and
comfort it is all that could be desired. In
fact. the James Means $500 Shoe" is the
acknowledged favorite and the name has
become a familiar household word
